Border

...

Border b1 = BorderFactory.createLineBorder( Color.black );
Border b2 = BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder( EtchedBorder.LOWERED );
Border b3 = new BevelBorder ( BevelBorder.LOWERED, Color.red );

JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setBorder( b2 );

You can apply fancy borders to your JPanels (or JComponents) with panel.setBorder( border ) There are all manner of ways to get a Border object to describe a border. Look in the javax.swing.border package for the various classes you can use.
